Sanding discs are used for surface preparation, smoothing, blending and finishing applications. They are commonly used on orbital, random orbital and disc sanders to prepare surfaces prior to coating, assembly or final finishing.
Grit selection depends on the stage of work and the required finish. Coarser grits are typically used for material removal or levelling, while finer grits are used for smoothing and finishing. Choosing the correct grit helps achieve consistent results and efficient sanding.
PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) discs attach directly to the sanding pad using adhesive backing, while hook-and-loop discs use a Velcro-style system for quick disc changes. The correct type depends on the sander design and application.
Yes. With the correct abrasive type and grit, sanding discs can be used on metals and certain composite materials as well as wood. Disc selection should always reflect the material and sanding application.
Clogging can be reduced by selecting the correct grit and abrasive type, using appropriate sanding pressure and ensuring dust extraction is effective. Choosing discs designed for the material being sanded also helps maintain performance.
